Reckoning for Scott, Reconciliation in Congress

On today’s Washington Wednesday episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy examine U.S. Rep. David Scott’s bid for reelection amid mounting questions about his age, visibility, and ability to serve. With several challengers entering the Democratic primary — including Jasmine Clark, Emmanuel Jones and Everton Blair — the race for Georgia’s 13th District is heating up. Also in the episode, we explore changes in the “Big, Beautiful Bill” in Congress and how proposed budget cuts could affect clean energy, immigration, higher education, and Medicaid access in Georgia.
